Welcome

Thank you for choosing the Wizard DVI SRX extenders. These compact modules

present the quickest way to extend high quality DVI digital video plus USB

keyboard and mouse up to 50 metres away from your computer.

Thanks to our long involvement and investment in extender technology we have

succeeded in overcoming the numerous problems associated with extending

digital video signals. Using our proprietary transmission techniques the DVI SRX

modules can reliably transfer video rates up to 165Mpixels per second. This is in

addition to two USB channels for keyboard and mouse - all via the same single

length of Category 5, 5e or 6 twisted pair cabling.

The Wizard DVI SRX extenders have been designed to be quick to install and

totally transparent in operation. All connectors are industry standard and the

video adjustments are made using simple keyboard button presses.

Important link cable advice

The actual maximum reliable video transmission distance depends upon several factors:

• The quality of the cable,

• The video resolution being used.

For best results in the transmission of digital video signals we recommend the use of shielded CAT6 cable (preferably

with a minimum conductor thickness of 26AWG). Using this cable, the following resolutions are achievable:

• 1600x1200@60Hz (162Mpixels/second) at least 30m,

• 1920x1200@60Hz, reduced blanking (154Mpixels/second) at least 30m,

• 1920x1080@60Hz HDTV 1080p, reduced blanking (139Mpixels/second) at least 30m,

• 1280x1024@60Hz (108Mpixels/second) at least 40m,

• 1024x768@60Hz (65 Mpixels/second) at least 50m.

CAT6 or better UTP cable will typically enable the above distances to be increased by 10 metres, however, the use of

UTP cable is not guaranteed to meet emissions regulations at all screen resolutions and may be affected by external

interference. CAT5 / CAT5e UTP cable will enable transmission distances that are equivalent to CAT6 shielded cable.

Cables with thicker wires will generally give better performance (i.e. 24AWG is better than 26AWG).

INSTALLATION ADVICE – Connect the

supplied protective ferrites at each

end of the CATx link cable and avoid

disconnecting the CATx link cable whilst

the product is operational (powered on).

Proprietary pre-emphasis and equalisation

techniques are used within the local and

remote modules respectively to achieve the

best possible video image at the monitor.

See page 7 for further details.

Installation

Connections

Installation of the DVI SRX modules is straightforward and requires minimal

conﬁguration in most cases.

• Connections at the local module

• Connections at the remote module

Note: After all connections are made, power up the remote module ﬁrst and

then switch on the computer.

INSTALLATION ADVICE – Connect the supplied protective ferrites at each

end of the CATx link cable and avoid disconnecting the CATx link cable

whilst the product is operational (powered on).

Switch settings

Both modules have a block of four mini switches located on their side panels. All

switches should remain OFF at all times during normal operation. Switch 1 on

the remote module is used to place both modules into upgrade mode. All other

switches are not used and should remain OFF at all times.

Mounting the modules – desk or rack

The DVI SRX modules can be situated on a desk (or ﬂoor) or alternatively, for

larger installations, mounted within an optional rack mount chassis.

Desk mount

Apply the supplied self-

adhesive rubber feet to the

underside of the module.

Rack mount

Note: The module switches are not accessible once it is inserted into the rack,

therefore, check all settings before insertion.

1 Place the rack securing plate (available as a separate kit) onto the front of the

module and secure it with the two countersunk screws.

2 Orient the DVI SRX module on its side so that its labelled face is the correct

way up.

3 Slide the module into the required rack position. The rectangular cut-out in

the front upper lip of the rack allows the two screws on the module’s upper

edge to slide through.

4 The rack mount chassis has a series of holes in its ﬂoor that are spaced to

accommodate the two screws on the module’s lower edge. Ensure

that the screws correctly locate into the two holes of the

chosen slot. The rack securing plate on the module should

now be ﬂush with the front of the rack mount

chassis.

5 Use the third (pan-head) screw, in the

top hole of

the rack

securing

plate to

fasten the

module to the

rack.

Video image compensation

The DVI SRX modules use a special two-part compensation technique to

overcome the effects of long cable lengths upon the digital video signal. Under

your control, the local and remote modules apply their own adjustments to the

video signal. The local module applies Pre-emphasis to the video signal while the

remote module uses Equalization to return the signal to levels suitable for use at

the connected DVI monitor.

Using the keyboard connected to the remote module, you can choose from

eight different video compensation settings (each setting affects both the local

and remote modules) to achieve the best results. In certain cases there may be

no image at the remote monitor until the appropriate compensation setting is

chosen.

Note: The effects of video compensation will only be noticeable on longer link

cables lengths and/or higher video resolutions.

To adjust the video image

1 Connect the DVI SRX modules to the computer and peripherals as discussed

earlier in this chapter. Power on the remote module and switch on the

computer.

2 On the keyboard connected to the remote module, simultaneously press the

and keys to enter Conﬁguration mode - the three indicators on

the keyboard should ﬂash slowly in sequence.

3 Press the key to begin Compensation - the Scroll Lock indicator on the

keyboard should ﬂash.

4 Press the key to select the ﬁrst compensation setting. Allow a few

seconds to elapse in order to give time for the compensation mode to

change and the video monitor time to adjust itself to the new signal.

Note: In some cases the video image may disappear completely as the video

monitor fails to decipher the signal. If this occurs, continue to follow these

instructions until the best compensation setting is achieved.

5 If necessary, repeat step 4 using keys to , remembering to allow a few

seconds after each press to allow the modules and video monitor to react.

6 When the best video image compensation is achieved, press the key to

save the settings and return to the normal Conﬁguration mode. The three

indicators on the keyboard should once again ﬂash slowly in sequence.

7 Press the key again to exit from the Conﬁguration mode.

Performing upgrades

The DVI SRX modules are fully upgradeable via ﬂash upgrades in order to take

advantage of our continual drive to improve products. Such upgrades require

a Windows-based computer system to be linked via the special upgrade port

located on the remote module.

The upgrade process is handled by the KVM Firmware Uploader utility, which is

available from Black Box and allows you to check the current revision of the DVI

SRX modules.

Items required to use the upgrade utility

• Optional serial upgrade cable.

• A Windows-based upgrade computer with an RS232 serial port.

• The latest version of the KVM Firmware Uploader and ﬁrmware ﬁles for the

DVI SRX - Contact Black Box technical support for details.

To use the KVM Firmware Uploader utility

1 - Obtain and run the KVM Firmware Uploader.

Download the latest DVI SRX KVM Firmware Uploader (contact Black Box

technical support) and install it on a Windows-based upgrade computer that

will be connected to the DVI SRX remote module. The ﬁles are supplied as a

compressed ZIP ﬁle. Decompress the ZIP ﬁle with an appropriate tool such as

WinZip (www.winzip.com) and copy all contained ﬁles to the same folder on

the upgrade computer.

2 - Connect the DVI SRX remote module to the serial port of the computer

With power removed from the remote module, attach the small RJ-9

connector of the optional upgrade cable to the UPG socket, located between

the USB and power sockets. Connect the other end of the cable to a vacant

serial port of the upgrade computer.

3 - Ensure that the local module is connected to the remote module

In the normal manner, check that the local and remote modules are

connected using a suitable link cable.

Note: During the upgrade process, both modules require power. The local

module can either be powered via its USB socket from an active computer,

or by using another standard power supply, similar to the one used by the

remote module.

4 - Invoke upgrade mode and power on the modules

Move switch 1 on the remote

module to the ON position - all

other switches on this module and

all switches on the local module

should remain OFF. Power up both

modules as well as the upgrade

computer.



6 - Query the DVI SRX modules

Click the Query Unit button to conﬁrm that communication is possible with

the DVI SRX modules and to establish the existing ﬁrmware details.

If the application cannot contact the DVI SRX modules, re-check the

connection cable and click the Advanced... button to check that the correct

serial port is being used on the upgrade computer. Change the serial port

within the Advanced section, if necessary.

7 - Select the upgrade ﬁle to be used

From the main KVM Firmware Uploader dialog, click the Browse... button

and select the upgrade ﬁle:

DVISRX_x.xx.txt

where x.xx is the ﬁrmware version.

The upgrade ﬁle details will be displayed within the dialog.

IMPORTANT: Check that the ‘Intended Target Units’ ﬁeld matches the

‘Unit Connected’ ﬁeld. If these ﬁelds do not match then you may have

an incorrect upgrade ﬁle, check with Black Box technical support before

proceeding. Check also that the ‘New ﬁrmware version’ is greater than the

‘Current ﬁrmware version’.

8 - Commence the upgrade

To begin the upgrade process, click the Upload Now button. The progress

will be shown within the dialog. Should you decide not to continue with

the upload at any stage, click the Abort button; response to this is usually

immediate, however, during an erase command, the upload will not be

aborted until the erase is complete (this may take a few seconds).

The remote module will upgrade its own ﬁrmware and also pass upgrade

code via the link cable to the local module.

9 - Cycle the power

Disconnect the power. Disconnect the remote module from the upgrade

computer and return switch 1 on the remote module to its OFF position. Re-

connect the modules in their normal manner. When the power is re-applied

the DVI SRX modules will operate using the new ﬁrmware.

INSTALLATION ADVICE – Connect the supplied protective ferrites at

each end of the CATx link cable and avoid disconnecting the CATx link

cable whilst the product is operational (powered on).

Issues to consider when performing ﬂash upgrades

The upgrade program rewrites the DVI SRX ﬁrmware code. If the upgrade

process is interrupted then the DVI SRX modules will have invalid code and will

not be able to operate. It is therefore good practice to ensure that the upgrade

process is always fully completed. A partial or failed upgrade may be rectiﬁed by

performing another upgrade.

WARNING: Running faulty or partially upgraded code may have unpredictable

results and may damage your DVI SRX modules or computing equipment.
